Moscow : A US militarization of outer space will endanger security of the planet, affirmed Friday here an expert on that countrys policy.
Professor Pavel Zolotariov, deputy director of a Russian research institute on US and Canada, considered dangerous the initiative recently submitted by Colorado republican senator Wayne Allard at the Annual Space Symposium in that country.
The militarization of the cosmos began during the cold war and has never stopped, although after 1991 funding was reduced, explained Zolotariov.
Everything seems as if the moment has arrived to give free rein to those plans after Washington approved a very aggressive space policy in 2006, he added.
Moscow and Beijing urged the world community on February to avoid deployment of those arsenals at the International Conference in Geneva, concluded the source.
A Russian-Chinese draft resolution was deeply supported at that Forum over demilitarization of the outer space which was only rejected by US.
